Hello, my name is Lauren Wilkins— I'm an artist who loves to work with analog photography, mixed-media collage, ceramics, and embroidery. My favorite camera is the Polaroid SX-70 and I have a deep appreciation for chemical photobooths. I have way too many plants (inside and garden) and I'm okay with that. I love hiking the southwest with my partner Benjamin and cooking is my favorite stress release.

My photographic colleges are a permitted part of Columbia College Chicago and the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel. My artwork has also been in featured in various publications including LENSCRATCH, Don't Take Pictures and AINT-BAD Magazine.

Currently I am living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I am a graduate student at SWC for Art Therapy and Counseling. My goal is to become a ceramic art therapist specializing in anxiety and post traumatic stress disorders.
